wood/lino cut effect

[trusslle]

in Painter 6. Is there a plug in - a tool I haven't found yet?

Hi trusslle,
I am not sure if this effect is what you are looking for but it was done with the scratch board tool and touched with surface paper texture.

BR,

Yes, it's a peaceful site and he writes beautifully, just as he works beautifully. It's like reading a fine book. I'll be back again to read more since today was full of interruptions.

Thanks again for sharing the two sites.

Hi trusslle,
Glad to help. I am sure that I am not the only one who would like to see how you use this in your work. Please feel free to post some of your work so we can see.

BR,

Thank you for the wonderful site addresses. I'm at www.woodblock.com now and can see it will be a fascinating tour. Also have the other site bookmarked to look at later.

Oboy! There's always so much more to learn!

There is such a plug in added in the P6.1 updater which is now in beta.

As for using Express Texture, float a copy of your original image into a layer before applying Express Texture, and set the blending mode (try gel first). Then do something to blur the underlying canvas image (Soften, KPTx Equalizer, Auto Van Gogh, Apply Surface Texture with a heavy texture paper, etc.).

Thanks for the info on the differences between Wood Cut and Wood Block.. which obviously I didn't know about.

If and when I find the time, maybe I'll do some research on these methods so at least I'll have an understanding of what I'm trying to replicate. <g>

Hummm!

The more I look at the above image, the more it looks like a scratchboard or woodengraving, instead of a linocut. Here's one done with the diagonal texture I mentioned above,

Here are some examples of output from the Painter 6.1 Woodcut filter. The image in the upper left is the original. Hopefully, this will give you a sense of Woodcut's possibilities.

Wow love the work you did with the woodcut filter. Makes me want to down load the patch.
Will wait till the final patch to get all the bug in it though. I can not wait to do some work with that filter. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
